On an iPhone running iOS 6.0.1, I used Settings → Notifications → Mail to set different "new message" sounds for different mail accounts. Now I want to make all mail accounts again follow the default sound set under Settings → Sounds → New Mail. How can I do this? When I change the "New Mail" alert sound, the individual mail accounts no longer change.

I have tried manually setting all the mail accounts to use the same sound and vibration setting as the default. However, they still don't change when I change the default setting.

does the issue still persists after the 6.1 update?

@Macmaniman Yes. There's no UI element I can find that would "follow default settings", so as far as I can tell each mail account is "follow the default settings until I customize it once, then never again".

For some dumb reason i cant figure out how to comment so please someone tell me, considering your problem still persists, i recommend, iCloud backup/restore. however, the problem might persist, sense its a "setting" its worth a try!

@Macmaniman It's not worth it to me to go through that much trouble. An easier solution would probably be to delete then re-add the mail account. But, I also don't want to bother with that. It's just odd that there doesn't seem to be a setting for this.
